Cody Wilson has resigned as CEO of Defense Distributed in the wake of recent sexual assault charges, the company announced in a press conference today in Austin.
Paloma Heindorff will serve as the new CEO of the firearm company going forward, having previously served as director of development.
Wilson, who also founded the alt-right crowdfunding platform Hatreon, was charged with sexually assaulting a minor earlier this month in Harris County court.
Wilson allegedly met the victim on SugarDaddyMeet.com, and subsequently paid her $500 in exchange for sex.
Wilson was in Taiwan when the charges became public, but he was subsequently arrested and deported to Austin to stand trial.
